Liam Payne and girlfriend Cheryl have apparently enlisted the help of their mums to help with their new arrival.

The former X Factor judge - who’s yet to confirm that she’s actually with child, despite appearing to be hosting what looks like a bump - has reportedly asked both mums to move into Liam’s Surrey mansion for six weeks.

“Joan and Karen are keen to lend a helping hand in the important but stressful weeks after the baby arrives,” a source close to the couple told Closer magazine.

“Also, Karen is a nursery nurse so she has a lot of hands-on experience with babies.

“Both mothers are excited but have put a time limit on their stay as they know it’s important for Cheryl and Liam to have their space - and quality time as a new family.”
